Interesting idea, but built on a false premise. Jobs aren't necessarily unpleasant. You could find yourself in the position of enjoying something most people don't, like programming, or being better than every one else at something that many people enjoy, like golf.

In both cases you can get paid to do something you enjoy, and no matter how much fun you have, your boss can't pay someone else to do it because either there aren't that many other people who can do it, or there aren't many who can do it as well as you.
